Report a pothole in Prince Edward County

Why Prince Edward County gets potholes

Prince Edward County sits on the eastern shore of Lake Ontario, which means it gets hit with heavier lake-effect snow than most neighbouring counties. That extra moisture, combined with winter road salt and the repeated freeze-thaw cycles that come with late fall and early spring temperature swings around the freezing mark, gives asphalt a tough time. Roads that survive the cold months often show the damage once temperatures climb and the surface starts to move.

How to report potholes in Prince Edward County

To report a pothole on a county-maintained road, call 613-476-2148 extension 0 or email info@pecounty.on.ca. Prince Edward County does not have a 311 service or a dedicated online pothole form, so phone and email are your main official options. RoadRot works alongside that: you drop a pin on the public map, rate the severity, and optionally add a photo so other drivers can see and confirm the problem. If you want to push harder, the built-in email-your-rep tool lets you send a message directly to your municipal or provincial representative about a specific report. That part is on you to trigger, but having a confirmed public report behind it makes the ask a lot harder to ignore.

Common questions

Who is responsible for fixing potholes in Prince Edward County?

Prince Edward County's Roads Department maintains roughly 1,100 kilometres of roads across the county. Highway 62 and portions of the Loyalist Parkway (Highway 33) are provincial roads maintained by the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario, not the county.

Does Prince Edward County have a 311 service?

No. Unlike larger Ontario cities, Prince Edward County does not offer a 311 line. To report a road issue, you need to call 613-476-2148 extension 0 or email info@pecounty.on.ca directly.

What's the worst time of year for potholes in Prince Edward County?

Late winter into early spring is typically the worst stretch. Lake-effect snow keeps the county wetter than most of its neighbours through winter, and once temperatures start bouncing above and below freezing, water works its way into pavement cracks and the real damage shows up. Expect the worst of it from roughly February through April.

How do I make a claim for vehicle damage caused by a pothole in Prince Edward County?

You'd need to file a claim with the county directly through the clerk's office. The county's claims page at thecounty.ca/government/clerks-office/claims/ is the confirmed starting point. Keep records of the damage, the location, the date, and any photos you have.

Is County Road 49 really one of the worst roads in Ontario?

CAA ranked County Road 49 the third-worst road in Ontario in one of its annual surveys, so the reputation is documented, not just local frustration. The road is a key route to the county's wineries and tourist destinations, and the combination of heavy seasonal traffic on a lightly-staffed rural road network is a known stress point for the infrastructure.
